大脑想要告诉你的 10 件事：
1. 坚持适量运动，运动会让身体和大脑一起变强壮；
2. 多晒太阳，大脑也有「光合作用」，不仅让人心情愉悦，也能促进学习记忆能力；
3. 大脑是个典型的「用进废退」器官，多学习多动脑，脑子越用越灵光；
4. 熬夜会损害大脑的注意力、记忆力、决策力等各项功能，长期熬夜的危害很难弥补；
5. 吸烟会让大脑萎缩，还会加速脑血管拥堵，增加中风风险，任何时候开始戒烟都会有获益；
6. 长期酗酒也会让大脑肉眼可见的萎缩，注意力、执行力和与人相处的能力也会明显下降。为了保住智商，酒还是少喝点吧；
7. 左右脑相关的测试、开发，听听就好，不必当真；
8. 除了体积，大脑在男性和女性中的差异其实并不大。后天的教育、社会文化等其他因素影响可能更能解释男女间的思维差异；
9. 大脑的体积大小跟智商高低没啥关系，不然统治地球的就应该是鲸鱼了；
10. 人类的大脑并没有 90% 的潜力尚待开发，相信科学，而非科幻电影。
